Boise Named America’s Fastest-Growing City

It's really no surprise (we get used to seeing our beloved home town on the top of these lists), but Boise has been named America's Fastest-Growing City by Forbes Magazine.

It's not a new trend for the City of Trees, but 2017 was an especially strong year. The magazine notes that "it exceeded expansion expectations by nearly ever metric that matters."

The population of approximately 220,000 grew 3.08%, which was more than any other major metro area, and the second strongest growth number overall. Home prices increased 11.58% which was the forth largest increase, and wage and other economic factors increased as well.
